Believers that speak a lot can harbor all sorts of illnesses like ego, grudge or hate in their hearts. However, silence allows inner reflection that only leads to a clean and calmer heart purified of any disease.
The Prophet PBUH said, “Don’t talk much unless for zikr of Allah (remembrance of God) , because much-talking leads to indomitable heart and the furthest human from Allah is the one with indomitable heart, those who unwilling to receive guidance.” [Tirmidi]

Good deeds are a ticket to Jannah (paradise). Allah and His Messenger have defined minor and major good deeds for us to follow. Silence is one of the small good deeds that we can perform to increase our weight of goodness on the Day of Judgement - especially when it comes to staying silent after someone angers or insults us.
Ali ibn Abi Thalib said, “No good in silence when it comes to knowledge, just as there is no good in speaking when it comes to ignorance.”

“The wiser a man is, the less he will speak.”
Silence helps us gain wisdom, as it allows us to understand situations from different perspectives & gives us time to think about and improve our speech.
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq once said “One who knows the value of his speech will also know the value of silence. In fact, if one adopts silence, he will value his speech and therefore guard it like he guards his wealth.”

When we are silent and avoid involving ourselves in every conversation, we have more time to make dhikr and think about Allah. Being able to stay quiet sometimes is really a mercy from Him ❤️

Backbiting, arguing, gossiping etc are all rooted in excessive talking. These are grave sins that are like water drops, once accumulating over time can become as big as the sea. Allah SWT and the Prophet PBUH advised us to stay silent as it will protect from these sins that can land us in Hellfire.

Since people talk only to reply back in a heated argument and as it is said that time and words cannot be taken back. So choosing silence while the other person is angry, helps to calm the situation down and gives time to truly understand other party’s perspective. The Prophet PBUH said, “Speak a good word or remain silent.“

Allah made the fire in this worldly life as a reminder of the fire of the Hereafter | Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan حفظه الله
Great scholar Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) writes,
"Six matters linked to signs of hypocrisy:
1) Laziness when standing for prayer.
2) Intending to show off with one's prayer.
3) Delaying the prayer.
4) Praying in an extremely hasty manner.
5) Barely remembering Allah during the prayer.
6) Abandoning the congregational prayer."
[Hukm Tarik al-Salat, p. 105]
If this is the case with those who actually pray and demonstrate these signs, how about those who do not pray at all?
رَبِّ ٱجْعَلْنِى مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوٲةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِىۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَآءِ
“O my Lord! Maintain me as one who establishes prayer, and some of my descendants [children]; O our Lord! and accept my prayer.” (Al Qurʾān 14:40)[Surah Ibraheem]

It might take ages just for layman to take days of Dhul Hijjah more seriously than days of Ramadan. Just to fill the mosques like they do in Ramadan…
By this very sad reality, you can guage where the general masses among Muslims stand w.r.t knowledge and how much work of spreading the knowledge needs to be done at the ground level by every Muslim who knows, at the forefront of which is the knowledge of Tawheed, without which everything falls apart.
There is no room for shyness in spreading knowledge and nothing is trivial. There is extreme wisdom in the saying of the Prophet ﷺ when he asked each one who hears to convey to others in his final sermon by his noble words - [لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الغَائِب], thus emphasizing the magnitude of da'wah required by the word of mouth - one to one ; minimum.
And true is the saying of the most high, Allah ﷻ according to whom the majority of the inhabitants of earth are involved in Shirk … Be it a disbeliever who doesn’t know Islam or be it a Muslim who delves into shirk almost daily in numerous ways possible both openly & discretely unaware of the fire they’re playing with, either by their speech or actions of hearts and limbs.
May Allah save us all through beneficial knowledge and Tawfeeq to act upon it. Ameen

Don't take the first ten days of Dhulhijjah lightly! These are the best ten days over the year. Look at them the same as you look at the last 10 days of Ramadan. Remind each other. Because most of us do not know about this. Remember, every text you send to people to remind about good deeds is a good deed, let alone if they do it. So, prepare your heart and ask Allah ﷻ to help you.

Lessons learned from stoning the Jamrat
Q: What lessons are to be learned from stoning the Jamrat (stone pillars at which pebbles are thrown during Hajj, Jamrat-ul-’Aqabah being the closest to Makkah)?
A: Stoning Jamrat-ul-’Aqabah (the closest stone pillar to Makkah) on the Day of ‘Eid (Festival) and the three Jamrat on the Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) in Mina at the times specified by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) teaches the Muslim a number of lessons:
First, it follows the example of our father Ibrahim (Abraham, (صلى الله عليه وسلم)) when Satan attempted to dissuade him from performing his duty, and that of our Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) when he legislated this for his Ummah (nation based on one creed) at the Farewell Hajj.
Second, it establishes Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) as the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) stated: "Verily, Tawaf (circumambulation) around the Ka’bah, Sa’y (going) between Safa and Marwah, and stoning the Jamrat are all ordained to establish the Remembrance of Allah."
Third, restriction to number seven has a great wisdom behind it, for it reminds of what Allah has prescribed to be done this number of times; we stone with seven pebbles and perform Tawaf and Sa’y seven times. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) stated: "Observe Witr (Prayer with an odd number of units) for Allah is Witr (He is One, and it is an odd number) and loves what is Witr." There is great wisdom in whatever Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) legislates for His Servants which they may or may not come to know. However, they are quite certain that Allah (سبحانه) is All-Wise, All-Knowing, and never does or legislates anything in vain.
Fourth, Islam is submission to and compliance with the Commands of Allah. Muslims are ordered to carry out acts of ‘Ibadah (worship) according to the Nas (Islamic texts from the Qur’an or the Sunnah), even if they do not fully comprehend their profound meanings, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. Human knowledge is deficient and insignificant compared to the Knowledge of Allah (سبحانه وتعالى). Muslims must submit to the Law of Allah and obey His Command, even without knowing the underlying wisdom.
Fifth, stoning the Jamrat engenders humility and submission while performing the act in compliance with the Command of Allah; it disciplines and accustoms the Muslim to abide by specifics and order like going to stone the three Jamrat, the third being Jamrat-ul-’Aqabah, then limiting oneself to seven pebbles, along with maintaining silence and avoiding harming others with words or deeds. All this makes the Muslim accustomed to put affairs in order and carry them out at their due times.
Sixth, safeguarding the pebbles and not misplacing them because of valuing the importance of what Allah has legislated without exceeding the limits or being negligent.

When going through hardships and a tough time remember the story of Hajar عليه السلام, wife of prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام abul ambiya "The Father of Prophets". Her husband was a prophet and she gave birth to a prophet Ismael عليه السلام.
Her struggle, her taqwa requires constant and sincere reflection.
Lesson one from the story of Hajar عليه السلام is Taqwa.
Imagine standing all alone in a desert with a new born baby in your arms and you have ran out of food and water, all you see is sand as far as your eyes can see.
Visualize that and imagine how scared would you be.
YOU WILL FEEL HOPELESS, WORRIED AND ANXIOUS.
That is how our mother Hajar felt.
Although, regardless of who left her there and why, Hajar knew that Rizq is from Allah, and that Allah would never forsake or abandon her.
That's the message I take from it. That as an amatullah I know for a fact that Allah will never forsake or abandon me as long as I take action and put my trust in Him.
The character of Hajar is what we should aspire to. Her sense of faith and reliance on Allah and her perseverance in what seemed an utterly hopeless situation is the lesson.
She raised her son Ismael عليه السلام, alone in the desert, without any family around and in such a way that Ismael was still obedient to the very father who left him in the desert.
Did she or Ismael throw a fit when Ibrahim عليه السلام showed up years later and said Allah wants me to slaughter you son?
No.
Hajar عليه السلام trusted that Allah would provide, and she sought out that provision.
Today as a result of that call to Allah, billions of Muslims from around the world and across generations commemorate her sunnah of running from safa to marwah while performing Umrah and Allah gave this Ummah the well of zam-zam because of her tawakkul and taqwa in Allah.
These two blessings showcase how immense her tawakkul and yaqeen in her rabb was. Her tawakkul in Allah was so strong that Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه comments on the blessing of zamzam and says "𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐚’𝐞𝐞𝐥'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫! 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐳𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐳𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡."
✦ 𝐓𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐮𝐥 is the reason we have Zamzam.
✦ 𝐓𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐮𝐥 is the reason the dates fell from the tree to feed Maryam عليه السلام during her labour pains, because a pregnant woman in pain cannot shake a tree.
✦ 𝐓𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐮𝐥 is the reason striking the staff split the sea for Musa عليه السلام.
Let's remember she is our mother. Her example is the best example to emulate. Her trials elevated her. During her lowest points she had the highest level of eeman and faith.
When things get tough, we need to stop whining. Instead focus on duas, ask Allah that he gives you tawfeeq, sabr and tawakkul that is unmatched and doesn't waver.
The second lesson is about being okay with not witnessing your true legacy in this temporary lifetime. So, what do I mean by that? When we talk about legacy, did Hajar عليه السلام witness her entire legacy in her lifetime?
𝐍𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐍𝐎𝐓.
Hajar عليه السلام had zero idea that billions of Muslims across generations would commemorate her sunnah while performing umrah.
Similarly, don’t worry if your legacy is not visible in a few years or even in your lifetime. If you are sincere and you do good deeds for the sake of Allah alone, Allah will bless you with a good legacy and inshaAllah the fruition, result and reward will be visible be on the day of judgement.
Some legacies are visible in our lifetime and some will inshaAllah be visible on the day of judgment.
𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲.
Just focus on the sincerity of your intentions and perform many good deeds.
🤲 May Allah bless us with tawakkul, ikhlaas, ihsan and unending sadaqaye jariya, may Allah keep us all sincere and steadfast in our affairs – Allahumma ameen.
Her struggle, her taqwa requires constant and sincere reflection.

When things get tough, we need to stop whining. Instead focus on duas, ask Allah that he gives you tawfeeq, sabr and tawakkul that is unmatched and doesn't waver.
The second lesson is about being okay with not witnessing your true legacy in this temporary lifetime. So, what do I mean by that? When we talk about legacy, did Hajar عليه السلام witness her entire legacy in her lifetime?

Hajar عليه السلام had zero idea that billions of Muslims across generations would commemorate her sunnah while performing umrah.
Similarly, don’t worry if your legacy is not visible in a few years or even in your lifetime. If you are sincere and you do good deeds for the sake of Allah alone, Allah will bless you with a good legacy and inshaAllah the fruition, result and reward will be visible be on the day of judgement.
Some legacies are visible in our lifetime and some will inshaAllah be visible on the day of judgment.
𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲.
Just focus on the sincerity of your intentions and perform many good deeds.
🤲 May Allah bless us with tawakkul, ikhlaas, ihsan and unending sadaqaye jariya, may Allah keep us all sincere and steadfast in our affairs – Allahumma ameen.

True intellectual people aren't those with degrees or high honors, nor are they those who pass or excel on board exams. These accomplishments are meaningless if the person who has them does not know or, worse, does not practice his Deen.
True intelligent people are those who fully comprehend the purpose of life, walk in the footsteps of the Salaf, and live according to the Qur'an and Sunnah, even if they lack secular knowledge diplomas.

🖋 If someone's shut the door in your face, don't ever try to knock on it twice. Just walk away and don't look back.
You must understand that it only happened because Allah allowed them to shut the door in your face and He let that happen for a reason: the reason is that Allah has prepared for you another door ready to open as soon as you will reach it in the path of your life, a door much better than the one that was shut in your face.
Sometimes it is necessary that a certain door closes to allow a better one to open.
Trust Allah's plans for you, for they are always endlessly better than your wishes ...

_Amr Bin Shuaib narrates from his father who narrates from his grandfather that, Nabi ﷺ said:_
“Those who perform Hajj and ‘Umrah are the delegation of Allah. If they ask, they are granted. If they call unto Allah in du’a, their du’as are answered. If they spend, they will be replaced…”
~ Shu’abul Iman, Hadith: 3809
